Hah! Hand him a can of tomato soup, the tin opener and tell him to get on with it. Not like pasta? Good grief! <shakes head in disbelief emoticon>

Inky, your friend don't sound too friendly to me if they let your choice of diet interfere with their relationship with you.
Food is something we need, you, I think, don't need this friend anymore

Oh now if I took that attitude I wouldn't have *any* friends.  He's quite picky about a lot of things, and vetoes a hell of a lot of things, but was tolerant of my transition to veggie foods. |

So, what pizza Inky? Tonight I shall pizza too (although cooked in my own fair oven). Pepperoni and mixed peppers, crisp salad on the side. Yum! (I'd cook properly, but so knackered after work I can't be asked.)

Oh, so yes. I had propositioned something with it, but he was all, like "I don't like pasta, and I don't like chickpeas". And I was honestly gobsmacked; I can scarcely think of two less possibly offensive foods than pasta and chickpeas. And yet he stood firm. BOooooooo.
Propositioned something or someone??  Actually, I used to be very fussy about food as a child, there were things as basic as pasta that I wouldn't eat. Now it's my staple diet. Incidentally, talking of food, I always meant to ask you, inky ... I had an Irish flatmate from Dublin for a while, he's moved back there now, and once I said something to him about a pomegranate and he claimed not to know what one was. Is this a regular omission in Ireland? |

Hooray ! Just found out that my pay increase and High Cost Area payment under Agenda for Change has finally been agreed. Jan will know what I mean. They have been dragging their heels for m-o-n-t-h-s, so it will be backdated to April. It won`t exactly keep me in champagne and oysters but, every little helps  I know what you're talking about too, Mort: my dad and sister both work for the NHS! My sister's always having issues with this Agenda for Change thing. My dad's just had a cost of living increase backdated to April too, he was very happy about it when I saw him last week.  |

OH. OH! For years I scoured this isle looking for them after encountering them for the first time on a trip to Egypt; it's only in the last year they've come into M&S here; the could be obtained prior to this from the Indian food stores, but that's about it. So yes, it is. Or was, certainly, anyway. So, what pizza Inky? Tonight I shall pizza too (although cooked in my own fair oven). Pepperoni and mixed peppers, crisp salad on the side. Yum!

"Vegetarian Feast". It *was* tasty though! |
